Biography
Michelle Monkou became a world traveler at three years old when she left her birthplace of London, England and moved to Guyana, South America. She then moved to the United States as a young teen. An avid reader, mixed with her cultural experiences, set the tone for a vivid imagination. It wasn’t long before the stories in her head became stories on paper.
In the middle of writing romantic fiction, she added a Master’s of International Business to her Bachelor’s in English.
Michelle was nominated for the 2003 Emma Award for Favorite New Author for her debut novel — Open Your Heart. She followed with several notable series, such as, the Glen Knolls, Mastersons and most recently, the Ladies of Distinction about five sorority sisters.
Since September ’06, Michelle became part of the launch of Harlequin’s new African American romance line, Kimani Romance.
